  1. #TIL that another way to make #tar (GNU and libarchive) create an empty archive is to pass a file and --exclude that same file.

  3. Whatever they used to patch that asphalt road (tar? definitively not asphalt itself), it partially melted in the burning hot sunlight today - and now I have the gravel glued to the soles of my shoes.

    These are only my old shoes who are almost done anyway, but pulling out this sticky mass is still annoying...

  5. 🚨 Request to Linux app developers - please don't limit your app releases to Debian DEB packages.

    Yes, Debian-based Ubuntu is the most widely used Linux distro, but many of us also use non-Debian-based distros like AlmaLinux, Rocky, Fedora, openSUSE, and the like.

    Please also provide a repository, RPM, Flatpak, AppImage, or TAR file for installation on non-Debian distros. Thanks a bunch! ✌😄

    tar -cvfz fediverse.raw  fediverse.tgz`

    ls -lh

    fediverse.raw 2.048 PiB

    fediverse.tgz 1.36 TiB

    According to my version of tar(1) it's entirely doable

  14. Grargh! hates extensions. And can't be configured to specifically use instead of whatever tar it finds first in the path.

    Therefore ...

    `sudo ln -sf $(which gtar) $(which tar)`

    No, I'm not kidding.

  20. 🗄️ L’archivage avec Tar

    En ce moment, de plus en plus de mes proches découvre le monde de GNU/Linux et je me suis dit que ça pourrait être fun de commencer à écrire des articles de vulgarisation sur certaines commandes.

    J’ai donc commencé avec la commande tar. Ce qui permettra de ne plus jamais être bloqué pour le désamorçage d’un explosif.

  25. Il Tar respinge il ricorso sulla data del referendum.

    Respinto il ricorso proposto dal comitato promotore per la raccolta di firme popolari per il referendum sulla giustizia. Il Tar considera legittima la decisione del Governo di votare il 22 e 23 marzo prossimi.

  26. I've made an interesting discovery:
    2 years ago, I created a tar.bz2: containing a files-in-folder: 0-Byte filesize, but ID3 music metadata fully available - stored in the filesystem attributes (#xattrs)

    Now I've realized that I can use this #tar not only to browse media collections (#DAM) in a highly portable and accessible format, but also that I can /write/ attributes (and other filesystem/metadata) changes to this "#holotar".

    Using this as UI to interact on a lightweight copy of any data.

  28. Work, Sadamasa Motonaga
    oil and gravel on canvas.

    Back to work today. This seems vaguely human-shaped which would make the messy top part the head and so maybe the mental state. It could be that the artist had something else in mind but that's my reaction to it. I love that they used gravel to get that texture.

    Nella raccolta firme per il #referendum è stata RAGGIUNTO il quorum superando 500k, molto prima delle attese !!

    Il #TAR non ha bloccato il colpo di mano del Governo che ha fissato la data prima della fine della raccolta firme (per cercare di influenzarne l'esito anticipandolo), ma il 27 ci sarà la sentenza a livello collegiale e lì si vedrà, IMHO, che il Governo si farà tanto malino con una bella badilata sulle gengive
